Recently, netizens in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places have revealed that factories in their locations have begun to suspend work and take holidays. Some are limiting power and production, and some are arranged by the companies themselves. It can be as short as 9 days of vacation, as long as 3 months of vacation, and some even directly indicate that working hours will be notified later in the year!
Affected by power restrictions, various companies have no choice but to make holiday choices at the important time nodes of Double Eleven and Double Twelve, which will add up to this year’s The strictest “stop work order”! No wonder many factory owners said they would close their doors and let their employees “go home” on vacation!
Talk about this year’s “stop work order”! As expected, the latest version of the “Action Plan for Comprehensive Air Pollution Control in Autumn and Winter” will be released as scheduled in 2021! The affected areas of this shutdown order involve 65 cities in 6 provinces, and the control areas include Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Shaanxi, and most areas of Shaanxi. The implementation period starts from October 1, 2021, and ends on March 31, 2022. . This governance will focus on coal mining and smelting, traditional heavy pollution, building materials, petroleum, fertilizers, plastics and other industries.
As soon as the draft opinion came out, each province successively issued corresponding staggered production suspensions. On October 22, Shanxi Province issued a notification plan for the chemical, cement, ceramics and other industries in November 2021. Off-peak production will be carried out from January 1st to December 31st, and from January 1st, 2022 to March 31st, 2022!
In addition, Hebei and other provinces have also begun to issue notices related to pollution politics and peak-shifting production!
Since the second half of this year, it has become even more difficult for chemical fiber people!
▶Raw materials have skyrocketed, and polyester raw materials have been rising for several consecutive days some time ago! Although it has been corrected now, it is still far away from the original price! Many people in the industry said that it is probably a long way to go back to the price at the beginning of the year;
▶Oil prices have risen for 15 consecutive years! Transportation costs are rising! Affected by the rise in international oil prices, the price of domestic refined oil has increased, and even some areas have restricted purchases. Many textile factory owners have spent money to find drivers to transport goods;
▶Foreign “cards” Neck” technical raw materials continue to rise! Affected by global energy shortages and skyrocketing natural gas prices, overseas giant plastic companies such as BASF, DuPont, Dow, Huntsman, etc. have adjusted the prices of some of their products, and price increase letters have come one after another
In short, dual energy consumption control + the strictest “stop order” + industrial electricity prices rising by up to 80%… These have made downstream companies miserable, not to mention that for textile factories, machines Maintenance, workshop and labor costs are a huge expense! Even the more you work, the more you lose! 2021 is undoubtedly a special year like 2020, but I believe that adversity will eventually end. As long as we survive this cold winter, we will usher in a new round of hope. </p
